On Sunday, my son was “out” all day. Now that he can drive, he frequently leaves and we don’t see him for hours. I’m pretty thankful for the Find iPhone app right now as he’s terrible at telling us where he’s going (as I’m sure all 16 and 17-year old boys are!).

So, yesterday he sits down next to me to show me a video he made of he and his friend.

But then, I have to remember that this is MY kid and my kid marches to the beat of his own drummer.

He starts the video and the camera is focused on Cole and his friend, driving in the car (the friend was driving, Cole was filming), singing “Mickey” by Toni Basil (the 80s one-hit-wonder) at the top of their lungs.

The next video is the two kids singing Dancing Queen by ABBA.

Yes, that’s not a typo.

And both boys are singing at the top of their lungs, waving hands, and just having a grand ol’ time.

Now, WHY am I telling you this about my son? (I swear there is a point!)

Yesterday in one of my animal communication classes, a student posted a message about her practice reading with a fellow student. She said something like, “I met with my partner and we did our 20-minute readings for each other and it was GREAT! But we were on the phone for another two hours after that just chatting! It’s like we’ve known each other forever!”

I feel like, all of the craziness in the world right now is actually creating energetic openings for us to find our like-minded others. For years, it’s been hard to meet people who think the same way, feel the same way, or express the same way – but things are finally lining up to allow us to do this!

For those who’ve felt “different” all of their lives, this is a HUGE change – and what a relief! (You’d never think my son would find other guys that want to sing 80s tunes – or people would find others who feel the same way about animals as they do! – but it’s happening!)

If you haven’t yet experienced this yet for yourself, it’s probably because you haven’t put yourself out there recently to take advantage of these new energies.
